I did an authentication setup a while ago, which needed to talk to
differing backends depending on what domain was in the auth attempt.
It also needed to failover to backup ldap servers if a primary
was down.
I ended up using a flat file table of domain, server, and search
base. A job runs from cron once per minute, and updates the
table, so that a down primary server is noticed, and worked around.
The ldap servers involved are so reliable, that a <60 second
outage, once a year, just isn't a big deal.
